Entropies are a cinematic musical project who document human stories through live sound and moving image. Featuring vocals, keys, violin, cello, percussion, they describe their music as a fusion of genres, from ambient pop to neo-classical. Adapting songs they have composed for British-Turkish-Iranian lead vocalist and director Sheida Kiran's BBC documentary films, Entropies combine these scores with new writing to culminate in a musical style which unites raw storytelling with enduring melodies.

 

Their most recent project, ‘Songs For Our Land’, partnered with the BBC Our World documentary: ‘Turkey's Earthquake: Those Who Stayed', was performed in a sold out mini-tour in London and Cambridge. Performances with partners include: FUJIFILM, Channel 4 and Sofar Sounds. Influences include Portishead, Max Richter and Hania Rani as well as folk sounds, most recently featuring songwriting in both Turkish and English, and traditional percussion instruments e.g. darbuka.

 

Entropies have been featured on BBC Music Introducing and Radio X’s ‘X-Posure’ show with John Kennedy. Supported by Help Musicians and the Bert Jansch Foundation, their debut EP ‘The Harvest’ is to be released in 2025, telling the stories of female tea pickers on the Black Sea coast of Turkey.
